2004 Tsunami scam

Even after all these years the scammers still believe this scam has a chance of catching out unsuspecting victims.

This email was sent to me, the scammer obviously not taking too much notice of who the email was sent to as my email addres includes "scamwarners"

Perhaps one of the more telling signs of a scam besides being contacted by a large amount of money by a stranger is the banker who does not have an email address from the bank he supposedly works for.

If you have received an email like this, it's a scam, please do not reply

exceptional and very private nature, as by virtue of my vantage position in Bank of China

and reach out to you, TRUSTING that you will give this proposal a positive consideration.

and i am an Independent Non-executive Director and a member of the Audit Committee and Nomination
and Remuneration Committee of the Company and Director of Bank of China Hong Kong in charge of the
International Remittance department. I will need you to assist me in executing a business project from

The deceased account has been declared dormant since 2006 and these funds will be confiscated/declared unserviceable and turned over to the Hong Kong government if the deceased business associates or next-of-kin did not claim this money; since all efforts to trace any living relative of the deceased proved abortive, i have decided that i will have you claim this money as the deceased business associate/or next-of-kin, since you are from the same country and perhaps have some similarities in certain areas. Everything concerning this transaction shall be LEGALLY done without hitch, as i was the deceased account Officer and all the relevant documents of this deposit were kept under my care.

Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue, as i hope that you are
a sincere, honest and matured person and above all TRUSTWORTHY. Once the funds have been
successfully transferred into your account, we shall share it in a ratio of 30% for you, 65% for me and
my associates in the bank and the reminder 5% to take care of contingencies.

I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below :{

[email protected]) and finally after that I shall furnish you with more information about
this operation. I am counting on your anticipated co-operation for a successful and hitch free business
transaction between us, which will be mutually beneficial, for a start oblige me these information:-

1. Your Full name{s}:-

2.Current contact address:-

3. Your present Occupation: -

4.Your age:-

and the life of my family at stake with this venture. Although nothing ventured is nothing gained,
